For Leah Otto, marrying Jude Shetler is a long-held dream come true. As a young girl, she was captivated by his good looks and talent as an auctioneer. When Jude, now a widower with three children, begins to court her, Leah doesn't hesitate. Other men may not appreciate her tomboy ways, but Jude values Leah's practical nature, and both enter the marriage with joy and optimism. Three months later, Leah feels as if her world is coming down around her. Her twin teenage step-daughters are pushing boundaries, and Leah, more at ease in a barn tending her goats and chickens than in a kitchen, struggles with her housekeeping duties.

But when the deacon in charge of the arrangements tells her there aren't places enough for everyone, she agrees to go live with her father's second cousin and his family in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania. Beside the fact that Lena has never been more than a few miles from home, she's never met the family she will now be living with. But worse than that is the thought of being separated from her siblings. How will they manage without her to care for them - especially eight-year-old Chris?

Publisher's Summary
Meg Hobart has everything: a happy marriage to a handsome, successful husband, a beautiful home in Charlotte, North Carolina, and three wonderful children. But it all comes crashing down around her the day she learns that her husband, James, has been living a lie - and has brought the family to financial ruin.
Penniless and homeless, the Hobarts pack up what little they still possess and leave behind their golden life for good. But it’s not the material things Meg finds herself mourning. Instead, she misses the certainty that she should remain married to James, who has betrayed her trust so thoughtlessly. Worse, she is suddenly very aware of just how spoiled her children have become. Meg wonders what her family has really sacrificed in their pursuit of the American dream.
A frightening twist of fate forces the Hobarts to take refuge with a kind Amish family in Pennsylvania, where they find themselves in a home with no computers, no cell phones, nothing the children consider fashionable or fun. With her uncooperative brood confined to the Amish world of hard work and tradition, their futures entirely uncertain, Meg fears she can never make her family whole again.
Celebrating life’s simplest but most essential values, packed with laughter and tears, this is a story of forgiveness and the power of love. You will never forget the special moment in time that is An Amish Christmas.

A Theatrical Reminder of What’s Most Important
I enjoyed the performance of each voice in this wonderful book. There were many important characters and each was quickly identifiable, making the book a most poignant experience. The storyline itself of a family in modern crisis stranded in Amish country, Pennsylvania and how their lives were woven back together brought Christmas joy to my heart.

After losing everything, what is next? This is an amazing and we'll written story of a family who has lost more than everything they owned, and the unexpected path they find themselves on toward something very different. I highly recommend this wonderful book, as an experience you won't soon forget.

Good story, drones on
good story line, but it's written in such a way that it drones on and on! the narrator does a good job with voice inflection, but her voice is a bit narrow and the men, in particular, sound like they're whining cynically.

Decent, fun, predictable feel good story.
Is there anything you would change about this book?
It is very predictable and very much stereotypes the Amish vs the non Amish.
Would you be willing to try another book from Cynthia Keller? Why or why not?
Yes. It was a nice break and didn't involve a lot of thinking. Nice to have a Christmas story.
What do you think the narrator could have done better?
The voices she used for the teenagers was kind of annoying.
Was An Amish Christmas worth the listening time?
Yes. I was looking for a feel good book that didn't involve a lot of thinking and that is exactly what this was.

A satisfying liottle Christmas story
Where does An Amish Christmas rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?
Better than average
What did you like best about this story?
It was a cozy Christmas story that wasn't all sticky and gooey with contrived romance. It was a story of family, friendship and their strengths.
Have you listened to any of Cassandra Campbell’s other performances before? How does this one compare?
No, but her narration was just perfect, not overdone, believable.
If you could take any character from An Amish Christmas out to dinner, who would it be and why?
Katharine, I'd like to pick her brain and give her a break (though she would probably refuse!)
Any additional comments?
Although the situation was slightly untenable, I was able to suspend my disbelief and enjoy a down to earth story that made me feel cozy and warm. It was a pleasant respite.

It was a very nice Christmas story.
Would you listen to An Amish Christmas again? Why?
I may listen to it again at Christmas. It was a nice story that I listened to while decorating.
If you were to make a film of this book, what would be the tag line be?
Nothing.
